11th March Online Diary

When writing the script for my VT i felt really comfortable about writing it because it was something i enjoyed talking about and i knew a bit about, I tried my best also to add in a few jokes that just shows to the audience that it is about comedy even though the title is "Is There A Wrong Time For Comedy" this title is research for me as I am interested in pursuing a hobby of comedy and would like to know if there is anything that i could say that could take a joke over the top and be highly offensive to people. At the beginning of the script i have included what the rest of the show will include which will hopefully keep the viewers watching because the want to watch what will be coming up on my VT. 
I have tried to include information about different venues where you can go and try out comedy if that is what interests you, here is the complete script:

Comedy On The Streets Script

Hello and welcome to comedy on the streets, i am Matthew Jump and i am here to talk to you about comedy on the streets of Manchester and whether there is a wrong time to tell jokes or can it fun all day everyday!

Today i will be taking you through different types of comedy there are out there and how you can become a comedian would like to. I am not a comedian although i love to make people laugh and believe that its a great thing to do and i would maybe like to look into doing at some point so this VT will both help me and you after all my dad always did say that i had a face for comedy.

Today i will be interviewing from a special guest who was the runner up in a comedy competition and also i will be interviewing students from Manchester Universities about what makes them laugh.

Back To Me On Camera

Professional comedians are brilliant at making people laugh and most of there work is scripted and done on stage this technique can be very difficult because it all depends on the mood of the audience why reverts back to my main question "Is There A Wrong Time For Comedy?"

Voice Over

Even though not many people know it, but there are lots of places in Manchester where young people can go to try out comedy if that interests them. What people don’t realise is that all famous comedians and comedy actors had to start somewhere and most of them started by doing stand up routines at open mic events at pubs and clubs.

In Manchester there are places such as:

•       Castle Hotel – Which has an open mic event every Monday

•       Lass O Gowry – Which is a pub that has open mic event also on a Monday

•       Town Tavern Hall – Open mic on a Wednesday

There is also a number of places where you can go and watch comedians that have been performing live for a while which you will have to pay for but is a brilliant experience if you want to go somewhere for a good old laugh.
